Accused Duke lacrosse player Reade Seligmann's attorneys want Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong thrown off the case.
Today, they filed a legal motion specifically asking for it.
"DA Mike Nifong neglected his duty as a prosecutor to seek the truth and a fair prosecution," the defense's motion reads.
The motions were filed just 24 hours before Nifong's Tuesday election in which he's fighting to keep his seat. Nifong is being challenged by former prosecutor Freda Black and private lawyer Keith Bishop
IOW, don't hold our collective breath...
You're probably right. How many people here at FR predicted that? Lots!
" Please excuse my ignorance, but I don't believe I have ever seen or heard that name, Nifong, before. What kind of name is that? "
It is an unusual name. When I first heard about the case, I thought the DA was Asian- Ni Fong. Seriously.
thought the DA was Asian- Ni Fong. Seriously.
me too....lol
bet they are some anxious men somewhere in Durham

There are only two men in Durham with any worries. She IDed them. If her ID fall apart nobody else will be charged. If the DNA matches someone not at the Lacrosse party, they won't be charged.
It is all on two Lacrosse players now. Any future IDs will be suspect. She can't claim oops I forgot which event I was raped at.
OK, so they've been well behaved.
but too many have been irresponsible in their use of alcohol and engaged in repetitive misconduct.
So they haven't been well behaved? Did John Kerry write that sentence?
Both the DA and Duke jumped the gun. Who's pulling the strings?
Heat wave ... 50's. :)
Well God bless the alumni.
Good work, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't mean they'll be charged with rape. They could be married or have girlfriends. Even if they aren't, who wants their name associated with CM?
Potentially very embarrassing for any number of people.
Where's the boyfriend? I'd like to see his cellphone records, also.
Me too.
I bet there are calls made from Mangum's cell when she was locked in the bathroom with Kim.
I guess the cable shows are about illegal immigrants marching today and not much about the Duke case.
Tomorrow evening should be interesting as we wait for the DA election returns.
We need a Nifong-LOSER!!live thread.
anyone watching Hannity and Colmes? Sheesh! NBP's!
The woman mentioned that cell can dial by themselves. That might be true, but it is also true that cells bases knows where your cellphone was when it does. When someone calls your cellphone it will look in the last cell your cellphone was located.
Also, The CBP was an idiot..
CBP Idiot says to Alan:
Hold on Alan, I'm fittin to tell you sumpin! LOL
An Eloquent Spokesperson for the CBP, very apropos to me :)
What did I miss on H&C....Greta's show is reporting that there is a photo of Reade at the ATM......this clears him
Greta.....she may not be a victim, she just may be an accuser.....
I saw the video earlier today...ATM security video
